I have always said, tires are EVERYTHING. The right tire for the application can make all the difference. Like you guys have stated near the start, no point over doing it, with a drag tire at least. But once you can no longer get the power down, tire upgrades are a must. For corner carvers like myself, tires are huge regardless of the power. Get the best tires you can afford and that alone with no other mods will cut lap times a fair bit. In the end, those little rubber patches are all that translates your commands into action in a car.
Drag radials have a softer sidewall, and are much worse for cornering. You want a soft sidewall to flex (picture a flat tire) and give you a bigger contact patch for more forward grip. For cornering you want a stiff sidewall to keep the contact patch from moving around which makes the car responsive and stable.
Of course, but these tires aren't designed for autocrossing. I've used Nitto 555R drag radials on 3 separate daily driven cars. They are probably the hardest drag radials out there, but actually have a little bit of tread depth and are still good for 1.7 60' times on my RWD cars. Not to mention I typically get over 10k miles out of a pair. There are softer DR's including the older bias ply Hoosier QT's and ET Streets that make the car feel very floaty and are for straight line only, but I think the new crop of drag radials out there will still give you cornering confidence at 7-8/10ths driving.
Ah.. Yea, I would imagine he means in comparison to a full drag slick or the really smooshy older drag radials which have a similar build to slicks (wrinkle walls) with a slightly harder rubber and a blocky type tread pattern.
Do you have any other in car footage of you luanching the car? Just trying to get a better idea of how much throttle input you take out during the first gear peddle. such a tricky task.
+Jack Campbell We wanted to change brake pads before we did the test as the pads we were recommend after what we asked for wasn't in stock ( not by CC Brakes) turned out to be rubbish. We will fit the new pads and get the test done after GT-R Festival when work load calms down.
+Road to Adventure Comes down to time and money. We're out to my bust a cheap brake kit, not to compare pads. We would have to buy every pad and spend thousands of dollars yet out the video would be lucky to make hundreds of dollars in revenue
+MotiveDVD i was thinking a long term test, one pad cycle, recording thoughts on street performance, some basic braking tests maybe some circuit stuff if you take it racing, using the same rotor and just replacing pads as required would be a decent overall back to back
+Road to Adventure That sounds even more time consuming an complicated than our normal brake txt which is just 20 hard stops in a row from 100km/h! We will report on the ones we use, but doing it to a lot of them is simply a massive exercise. Speaking from experience though, your favourite brake pad is Project Mu HC800. Nismo R pads are also good
Had a friend with a '05 mustang shelby, nitrous 4.6 (not gt500). He drove around for 5 days on those slick radials....mofo hit a puddle and spun off the highway into the grass in the center.. lol.... lesson to be learned here on these sick asss tyres AND he got a faulty equipment ticket for wrecking.
Damn that headlight intake looks sexy! Make's me want to get one for my 600hp BCNR33..... But i think i'm tempting fate enought with all the illegal mods that i'm already running! Haha
You gave a lot of great info but what you left out is actual tire size. When going with a drag radial tire you want to go with a little taller tire so you can drop tire pressure and with that it Also changes you speed since it's a taller tire.
car lookes like it could hit in the 9's soon. I slo like how how the car was faster in the 1/4 mile but had a slower trap speed. Hard to get your heard around this at first but when you do you understand how good these tires are
Anyone notice the Royal Nasho sticker on the back of the car? The one mighty car mods made for the rusted golf haha, you guys need to do more collaborations. Miss the 180sx build
Hi, are you guys running some sort of engine block modifications? My RB26 block cracked in my high 11sec R32, they say because of hard launches on "sticky" tyres?
Quick question, considering how close ratio the gears are currently...have you tried launching from 2nd gear? I know a lot gtr owners had some results with improvements. And considering this is the Getrag box it should take the hit surely. Are you able to try it Andrew?
We tried it on street tyres and it just blew the tyres off or bogged,like when you have a really long first gear in a GT-R. We are looking at trying it on the Hoosiers with launch control in the future. Problem is we only get one good shot at it before we get booted
+MotiveDVD oh ok. thanks for the info. I presume your going to have to be quite hard on it with the hoosiers. but if it works should drop the time again. The car is quite an animal mate. keep the videos coming. on another note...how is the reliability now..and is the head still lifting or are you running lower power normally? thanks in advanced for the replies
i guess i need to get those drag radial tire for my car, i ran my 670whp 2jz swap cefiro on a stupid dunlop dirreza street tire and my car ended up spinning halfway of the track, my wheels kept on lossing traction until 3rd gear lol...and i havent had a chance to fit an lsd yet since the car is fresh build...it was fun tho and the track is not a prepped track too...
I thought drag radials have more rolling resistance because it has the maximum surface area for a tire to grip the road. More surface area contacting the road would mean a larger contact patch and thus more rolling resistance which generally equates to more grip. I'm confused now.
ELLIOTT MORIARTY id stick nitto but if you don’t like them then Hoosier. But I am bias to nitto Hoosier and bf Goodrich. But toyo makes some good street/strip ones too
Dixie Whiskey I should have been a little more clear. I like the current Nittos for street, but which tire would be better for drag racing to stick and hook well?
Stock bottom end and head, yes. Just gasket, studs and drop in cams. We are getting valve float now ( reducing mph) so valve spring upgrade next. Next mythbusted is " how much power can stock RB26 make"
Yeah that's what I thought. Man that is seriously impressive! Looking forward to the next mythbusted!😬 Was a good turn out at the drags last week with the Coota cars n 1320!
+NjBorn Next video might be "how much power can a stock engine reliably make" as we are fitting valve springs and turing it up more next. If it doesn't break by end of this year we will do a 2.6 vs Stroker video. We will more than likely go for a 2.8L stroker inside same block rather than change to RB30. Main reasons being that RB30 getting hard to find and it is actually quite a big job to switch. I like the idea of using same block and bolting straight back in with no changes and bills crank means can rev harder too
We dont use launch control or "2-step" to help conserve the factory oil pump. launch control is basically a limiter and the shock loading on the pump wears it out
is there any difference attributed to the different wheels? woukd of like to see the tires on the same wheel to eliminate any variable but still a cool test
non that you could measure. both wheels are same size and both high quality one piece wheels. The different in weight of tyres is more than weight of wheels
Is there a street or drag radial tyre u recommended for f80 m3 can't seem to get the power down with stage 1 and ps4s 285 35 18... I just purchased 18s for the rear thinking of going wider tyres
Only got 200hp and i cant keep power on the ground. VW bora TDI (on second gear, as soon as the turbo opens the wheels start spinning. I ordered two semi slick for the front today. They are not as expensive as these ones. Nankang ns2r, it might be more than enough for 200hp.
As a long time racer you NEVER drive a race tyre on the street. That is a heat cycle and any race tyre only has a limited number of those. The 'street' tyres are by the look a drift tyre and again the same applies. All road tyres too go hard, just a lot slower. Storage of race tyres too is very important, should be stored in the cool and the dark and not with the weight of the car upon them
Ok..... someone told me that I could twist my stock drive shaft by putting the 305's on my rears. Another question for you, sir, should I put on a K&N air filter in my Hellcat.. would it decrease the already low MPG? I get about 11.4 mpg currently (in Eco mode). Thanks @SL02VGT
So slicks have a higher grip coefficient than treadled street tires. Wow you guys are blowing mind here. Can we get some more tests to confirm this highly controversial finding? On a more serious note the title and premise suck but it is cool to see the numbers compared side by side on the same vehicle. I am surprised that the gains were that small. I guess you busted some hype if nothing else.
60 ft times are for less horsepower cars on the launch sub 3000# car maybe 25k , and 1.8 60ft , street tires can reach same . if you are applying more torque at launch then drag radials are needed, ie 1.5 60 ft
Wait in the beginning it says the radials have less rolling resistance due to a smaller contact patch but are gripper? And it runs a slower trap speed at the end? Can someone help explain this to me
OK. We said drag radials have lower rolling resistance that a cross ply, but both types of drag racing tyre have more rolling resistance than a regular high performance street tyre
Been making over 600 wheel horsepower for a year now. 3 airport events, 2 powercruise events and 3 times at the drag strip plus 3 dyno sessions in 12 months. All good!
+RACING WORLD TV They are department of transportation certified for use on public roads in the USA. Rubber compounds, tread (very little to speak of), and sidewall construction all matters. True racing slicks, drag or track, don't have any of the compromises these are forced to.
4WDs always launch better than the RWDs so I imagine a RWD will appreciate the Hoosiers the most. There's as much force going through 2 wheels instead of 4.
Croydon! last time I heard that name was following GTR700 via Exvitermini way back... Just checked Exvitermini.com and see it's been updated yesterday - excellent
The difference in weight was less than a pound over all four wheels. In fact the difference in th weight of the tyres is sometimes more than the wheels. Here is a long list of how much difference the wheel weights made....... ..... zero
its also not much of a test on an AWD car... if you really wanna see a big difference test it on a high power 2wd car. and why doesn't your GTR have a 2 step? it would make for much more consistent launches, especially now that you're using drag radials
two-step requires calibration on every single surface you drive on, which requires test launches on every surface. Don't have time to do that every where we drive. Our car gets wheelsman in first two gears ons street tyres. It's not exactly a stock 4WD car with full grip
+SlidinShadow Sure thing buddy. So what you want to do is use your left foot to apply pressure to the left pedal. This causes the clutch to disengage. Then using your hand shift the gear lever into the 1st gear position. Now using your right foot on the right pedal you can increase the rpm of the engine. Ok here is the tricky part... take your left foot off the left pedal which will engage the clutch and make the car move in a forward direction. Hope this helps you out!
I can hear the dude from 1320 video at 6:50 - looks like it was a huge night for youtube and sydney dragway that evening!
It was their biggest night in a LONG time
Hearing an Australian say "Hoosier" makes my day... Great video BTW.

Drag radials have a softer sidewall, and are much worse for cornering.
You want a soft sidewall to flex (picture a flat tire) and give you a bigger contact patch for more forward grip.
For cornering you want a stiff sidewall to keep the contact patch from moving around which makes the car responsive and stable.
Sidewalls that flex while cornering also ruin proper traction.

+CaptainXanax yeah, at 1:10 he points out that the drag radials have a stiff sidewall for better cornering???
Ah.. Yea, I would imagine he means in comparison to a full drag slick or the really smooshy older drag radials which have a similar build to slicks (wrinkle walls) with a slightly harder rubber and a blocky type tread pattern.
Thanks for this vid, i like it when poeple actually do back to back comparisons not just speculate that one thing is better than another.
fuck that's a quick car. well done everyone involved.
Indeed
That sound of the RB motor is especial
I would like to see this test on a rear wheel drive car with about 700 rwhp
This test is actually more accurate with four wheel drive. Do to a more even weight and ride height typically found on all wheel and 4wheel drive cars

I didn't even know that there was a myth on which type of tyre has more traction on a dry road.
Exposing myths we don't even know existed- it's that mythy
I think I've watched this video about 15 times these past few days. Mph is there.. just need to freaking put the power down.
ItsCardo1987 aye it's cardo
Awesome video production, subscribed.
9sec club coming soon!
We hope so
that white r32 had a parachute lmfao
thats cause its capable of running 9s at 150+ mph
You don't need a Parachute till you hit the 7's trapping at over 180mph atleast 8's he coulda just got bigger brakes
you need a parachute if yo go over 140mph under ANDRA rules here
Do you have any other in car footage of you luanching the car? Just trying to get a better idea of how much throttle input you take out during the first gear peddle. such a tricky task.
Awesome, informative video. Cheers guys🍺
How are you guys dealing with oil slashing at such grip level and power?
Awesome stuff. Fantastic production quality and information!
Have you filmed the second part of the brake upgrade video yet?
thanks.

neither would I;]

It must have mistaken the mile markers for a car show crowd
Damn that headlight intake looks sexy! Make's me want to get one for my 600hp BCNR33..... But i think i'm tempting fate enought with all the illegal mods that i'm already running! Haha
Dude, if you call intake sexy there's is something wrong with your head. One day I can find you banging your own exhaust pipe
if its a GTR then bang away lmao!
lol itd prob be like throwing a hot dog down a hallway
I was thinking the same thing. How is a missing headlight sexy? It's supposed to be a function over looks mod. lol.
You gave a lot of great info but what you left out is actual tire size. When going with a drag radial tire you want to go with a little taller tire so you can drop tire pressure and with that it Also changes you speed since it's a taller tire.
Hey, I saw this guy on an ignition DVD I had years ago when the R35 just came out and chromies were still popular.
my 2009 Z06 turned a 1.57 60ft and a 10.62 at 132 on Hoosier 275/40/17 drag radials. full exhaust and magnacharger
So the achilles sure held upto it’s name 😂

For drag car ( that is driven on the road) what would be better R18 with hoosier or R16 with same tires???
You can visibly see it spinning the rear, it seems like it needs more power sent to the front?
I can hear Kyle at 6:51 ;)

i have those same tires in the 17 inch 275s hoosiers. but rwd only and they hook like crazy.
275 on what width of a rim?
@@teamforbidden7852 this is a old post. If i remeber correctly, a 17x8 stock pontiac gto wheel from like a 2005 ish gto.

Do you think these will be a good daily for a 500 hp GTR? Any noticable differences?
not worth it with 500hp. And you cant go round corners on them very quickly
@@MotiveVideo thanks mate, if I am honest I just want them for the looks. 😂😂

Can I make a 4 hour road trip with rear hoosier tires??
Good video!
The difference would be enormous for a 2WD car.

Very nice!
I thought drag radials have more rolling resistance because it has the maximum surface area for a tire to grip the road. More surface area contacting the road would mean a larger contact patch and thus more rolling resistance which generally equates to more grip. I'm confused now.
They have more rolling resitance due to compound ( friction) and contact patch.
I’ve got a Demon and not sure to get M/T or Hoosiers when my current Nitto tires wear out. M/ T or Hoosiers?
ELLIOTT MORIARTY id stick nitto but if you don’t like them then Hoosier. But I am bias to nitto Hoosier and bf Goodrich. But toyo makes some good street/strip ones too
Dixie Whiskey I should have been a little more clear. I like the current Nittos for street, but which tire would be better for drag racing to stick and hook well?
ELLIOTT MORIARTY then Hoosier but I’d probably stick with a radial type over a tube type
Dixie Whiskey Thank you.
any chance you could do a comparison with track tyres on the Achillies 123s and say Hankook Ventus Z221
That's impressive Andrew! The GTR is still a stock bottom end right? Those power levels are amazing
Stock bottom end and head, yes. Just gasket, studs and drop in cams.
We are getting valve float now ( reducing mph) so valve spring upgrade next.
Next mythbusted is " how much power can stock RB26 make"
Yeah that's what I thought. Man that is seriously impressive!
Looking forward to the next mythbusted!😬
Was a good turn out at the drags last week with the Coota cars n 1320!
+MotiveDVD And after that test, will we possibly see RB30 bottom vs 26? Or are you going to just build up a 26 bottom end with forged bits?
+NjBorn Next video might be "how much power can a stock engine reliably make" as we are fitting valve springs and turing it up more next.

Hey Andrew what trap speed did you run with the hoosier @ coota on the 10.52 run? Cheers
135
are they actually legal on the aus streets?
DOT approval is for the USA, so no, they are technically not road legal in Australia like most drag radials.
Hi Motive. Just started to watch your series.
And im wondering why you dont use launchcontrol?
We dont use launch control or "2-step" to help conserve the factory oil pump. launch control is basically a limiter and the shock loading on the pump wears it out
Ohh ok. Does it wear down the Reimax pumpwheel aswell?
Thanks for the reply.
is there any difference attributed to the different wheels? woukd of like to see the tires on the same wheel to eliminate any variable but still a cool test
non that you could measure. both wheels are same size and both high quality one piece wheels. The different in weight of tyres is more than weight of wheels
+MotiveDVD thanks for the response
Is there a street or drag radial tyre u recommended for f80 m3 can't seem to get the power down with stage 1 and ps4s 285 35 18... I just purchased 18s for the rear thinking of going wider tyres
I am looking at Toyo R888R for my C7 Z06. Not drag radials but have much better handling and straight line performance
Why didn't anyone talk about the change in weight with the different rims.That also can have a drastic effect On time
Samuel Stephano at the power were in we can tell you it makes little or no difference. They are bot light weight wheels and netlike weight difference.
Only got 200hp and i cant keep power on the ground. VW bora TDI (on second gear, as soon as the turbo opens the wheels start spinning. I ordered two semi slick for the front today. They are not as expensive as these ones. Nankang ns2r, it might be more than enough for 200hp.
Diesel torque tend to do that. I had a 1.2L turbo diesel Cirtroen C3 with 70HP, and it broke traction in 2nd too when the turbo came on.
ON DA WHO-ZEE-UHH!!
That GTR hauls ass!!! Nice car!!
Fast car even on street tires, DAMN!
Were you guys using launch control or just free reving?
No launch control. 2-step and stock oil pumps dont play well together. Little bit of clutch ride but not much
im happy that the drag radials are better for cornering ...
better than cross-ply tyres, yes
where did you buy the hoosiers?
As a long time racer you NEVER drive a race tyre on the street. That is a heat cycle and any race tyre only has a limited number of those.
The 'street' tyres are by the look a drift tyre and again the same applies.
All road tyres too go hard, just a lot slower.
Storage of race tyres too is very important, should be stored in the cool and the dark and not with the weight of the car upon them
We know, but lots of people do it anyway and dont care about tyre life. they just want the performance
nice car.. nice driver, nice tires. :D
Question.. can 305's on the rear of my Hellcat damage my stock drive shaft?
NinjaWarriorDude if you can fit the tires on the rims, they shouldnt do any damage.
Ok..... someone told me that I could twist my stock drive shaft by putting the 305's on my rears. Another question for you, sir, should I put on a K&N air filter in my Hellcat.. would it decrease the already low MPG? I get about 11.4 mpg currently (in Eco mode). Thanks @SL02VGT
Hoosiers are the best
How is that stock bottom end still alive with that power?
+danielvk1985 Good tuning by CRD, correct support gear and smart driving. The show ratio 6-speed actually helps keep it alive too
That fireball at 4:48 is fucking SEX
So slicks have a higher grip coefficient than treadled street tires. Wow you guys are blowing mind here. Can we get some more tests to confirm this highly controversial finding?
On a more serious note the title and premise suck but it is cool to see the numbers compared side by side on the same vehicle. I am surprised that the gains were that small. I guess you busted some hype if nothing else.
The mythbust is the "10th in the 60 is double at the end"
We do agree the title is about drawing in viewers, but thats just marketing.
Out last big comparison video was also called "mythbusted" so keeping the trend going.
Whys he giving the shifter a reach around? Who shifts like that?
60 ft times are for less horsepower cars on the launch sub 3000# car maybe 25k , and 1.8 60ft , street tires can reach same . if you are applying more torque at launch then drag radials are needed, ie 1.5 60 ft
i wonder how much better factory muscle cars would be to 100 and 1/4 with these.. i.e. mustangs, VF HSVs, zr1s etc..
What a shocker. Slicks are better than street tires. Was that actually a myth? I think everyone knows a 40 treadwear rating is going to be very soft.
Wait in the beginning it says the radials have less rolling resistance due to a smaller contact patch but are gripper? And it runs a slower trap speed at the end? Can someone help explain this to me
OK. We said drag radials have lower rolling resistance that a cross ply, but both types of drag racing tyre have more rolling resistance than a regular high performance street tyre
How has the reliability been on yalls r32?
Been making over 600 wheel horsepower for a year now. 3 airport events, 2 powercruise events and 3 times at the drag strip plus 3 dyno sessions in 12 months. All good!
¿It is legal to use drag radial tyres in the street?
+RACING WORLD TV They are department of transportation certified for use on public roads in the USA. Rubber compounds, tread (very little to speak of), and sidewall construction all matters. True racing slicks, drag or track, don't have any of the compromises these are forced to.

4WDs always launch better than the RWDs so I imagine a RWD will appreciate the Hoosiers the most. There's as much force going through 2 wheels instead of 4.
Would actually be more force pushing 2 wheels than 4 because of less drivetrain loss and 2 less wheels that have to spin haha

Just checked Exvitermini.com and see it's been updated yesterday - excellent
can i use drag radial on a toyota saloon? as daily use??
irfan khan yh would be fine 😂
Only problem I see is that you are using different wheels ,so you are changing the wheel weight but either way the drag radials are a better choice
The difference in weight was less than a pound over all four wheels. In fact the difference in th weight of the tyres is sometimes more than the wheels. Here is a long list of how much difference the wheel weights made.......
.....
zero
Also why don't you guys use anti lag/launch control
Havnt needed it yet as turbo is so responsive. The switch to Drag Radials means we will now look at setting up launch control
Nice
ain't he the guy that always shows up Mighty car mods ?
Yes
+MotiveDVD thx for replying
4:47 you're welcome
its also not much of a test on an AWD car... if you really wanna see a big difference test it on a high power 2wd car. and why doesn't your GTR have a 2 step? it would make for much more consistent launches, especially now that you're using drag radials
agree ...I was like wtf testing DRs on a awd car.
two-step requires calibration on every single surface you drive on, which requires test launches on every surface. Don't have time to do that every where we drive.
Our car gets wheelsman in first two gears ons street tyres. It's not exactly a stock 4WD car with full grip
I hear Kyle @ 6:53
awesome
I just bought this same tire for my motorcycle. 😉
Jw wouldn't using 2 different wheels effect the times due to the wheel weights are most likely different
same die wheel and minimal weight difference. under 500grams. the tyre weight difference is more than the rims. it makes no measurable difference
Can someone explain to how he's launching the car?
+SlidinShadow Sure thing buddy. So what you want to do is use your left foot to apply pressure to the left pedal. This causes the clutch to disengage. Then using your hand shift the gear lever into the 1st gear position. Now using your right foot on the right pedal you can increase the rpm of the engine. Ok here is the tricky part... take your left foot off the left pedal which will engage the clutch and make the car move in a forward direction. Hope this helps you out!
+Tyrell Mack guessing you can`t tell he is pretty much mocking this guy right.
what was that reaction time at the track
irrelevant. we weren't racing the person next to us, we were aiming for a time
Good video, but those are really just drag slicks. radials have the rimpling side walls and terrible turning/driveability
fail troll. back in the basement son!
lol. back to front champ... hahaha
can you even buy cross ply tires anymore?
yes. drag tyres
Off road tires too, better at resisting punctures but they're not good on the street. A lot of ATV tires are bias ply (cross ply).
***** Huh?? i only ever heard the term "drag radial"
Josh Briggs They mean drag slicks.
But ever drag slick s a radial right?
2:15 Rb32 I thought there was only such thing as a bored out rb28 which makes it a rb30😱😱😱😱
Take an RB30 block, stick on an RB26 head and a stroker kit and you have an BR32 :P
